For Valentine’s Day this year, why not devote the day to yourself: work on the dissertation you love (or love to hate), alleviate stress, develop a concrete plan, and let us help you prepare for success.

This workshop is designed for graduate students actively developing and writing their dissertations (ie. drafting the proposal or chapters). Research and writing professionals from across the university, including librarians, writing consultants, graduate school administrators, psychologists and disciplinary specialists, will help you move forward in your writing process.

February 21-23, 2013
